Summary

After experiencing years of manipulation and abuse, I learned how to begin decoding manipulation. As a highly-sensitive teenager I was on a desperate journey to break free and reclaim my life, learning the hard way that true freedom requires trusting my intuition and honoring my inner voice. Why is trusting your intuition critical for recovery? This episode dives into the role of intuition in healing, emphasizing how crucial it is for Highly Sensitive Persons (HSPs) and survivors of abuse. Nikki Eisenhauer shares her experiences to illustrate how honing in on one's intuitive signals can serve as a powerful defense against manipulation and mental health crises.
